There is none better. Period.

Doug Kook has been the accountant for our Neurosurgical practice for about 15 years now I would guess. We have grown into one of the largest and busiest practices of our kind on the east coast. This was in no small part due to the insightful and stabilizing force of Doug. Our 3-person practice was just starting in 1996 and we asked Bumpers and Co to be our accountant. Over the years, Bumpers assigned more and more of our needs to Doug. As we grew, so did our relationship with Doug.

We expanded to 7 physicians, and 7 Physician assistants, bought a 100,000sf building, bought and sold an imaging center, helped to create Delaware’s largest surgicenter, all while providing care for over 80,000 patients in our practice. Doug has been the rock that we all rely on. I can’t imagine how he has managed to keep all of our affairs straight, yet he has. At one point, during our expansion, I truly believe he was the only human on earth who knew exactly where every piece of our very complex puzzle belonged.

Through it all he has been accessible, appropriately conservative and a joy to work with. He is like an excellent parent or teacher. He is proactive in alerting us to upcoming challenges as well as opportunities. More importantly, when we get a little out of hand, he is capable of reigning us in, focusing us and getting us to go in a positive, appropriate and legally sound direction. We have had 9 Neurosurgeons in our practice over the years, and I can say, without hesitation, that he has earned the unquestionable respect of all of them. No small feat, to be sure.

The doctors can’t agree on what day it is, sometimes, but we all agree that Doug is spectacular at his job, not only as our accountant, but as a key player in our practice. He is relied upon by every single doctor, employee, and patient in this practice to keep the ship upright, stable and properly headed on a straight course. Besides that, we absolutely love working with him.

There is none better. Period.

I would highly recommend Doug Kook and his company

I have worked with Bumpers and Company for over 20 years. They take care our business tax filings and everything related to requirements in so far as our banking relationships go. They are easy to work with and are very flexible in taking my calls at any time during the day to include weekends (at times) even though I try really hard to only reach out to them during normal business hours. My employees have the freedom and flexibility to reach out to them directly with any questions and the firm has no problems taking their calls as well. I would highly recommend Doug Kook and his company to you.

A Welcome Change

Bumpers and Co has been a welcome change from several other accounting firms in the area. Service has always been expeditious and accurate, and as our business grew, they have always been able to handle our demands. Their advice has saved our company money by reducing taxes and optimizing business expense deductions, helping us strategically when making capital purchases, optimizing the use of other financial services, and in properly structuring ventures such as purchasing real estate in the most tax effective manner with the most favorable deductions both short and long term. On a personal level, I also saw my tax return optimized without undue risk. I was educated about certain deductions that I wasn't previously claiming, and with the new tax law changes, was also educated about how the new tax codes would affect me well in advance of the changes so I wasn't surprised when these laws were finally in effect.

Bumpers and Co is also very honest, while still being effective. They are always available, by phone or email, for planned or unplanned tax issues and advice. I was never told they were too busy, no matter the time of the year, and always get extremely personal, one on one service. As a detail oriented person, I like to know a lot of information about what's going on with my taxes and why, and this is always explained o me so I am comfortable with calculations and rationale. Bumpers is also very detail oriented, and tax planning is provided well in advance of filing dates so there is no last minute rush. I highly recommend their services and don't think there is a better firm in town.
